matrix through Element is as user-friendly as discord 🤷
No, it’s not.
Even for tech savy people the security settings (i.e. cross-signing and backups) are confusing and Element points you straight towards them, without sufficient explanations.
Element is (impressively enough) also much more buggy than Discord.
I find it actually pretty straightforward for a non-technical person. The default settings all work fine. The more complicated stuff is relatively buried.
Newbies don’t need that when starting, and at least they will have a solid ground to work with.
I haven’t tried Matrix but I wouldn’t call Discord user friendly either 🤪
